As much as I would love to get help and advice. Your troll makes the
posts so hard to read, it's hardly worth the effort.

That's too bad in a number of ways. Not only are you
empowering the troll by letting him chase you away (he's being
trying that with me for about 8 years), but you'll be missing
out on advice than only an unmoderated group can give you.
There are no pat answers on any forum: it's up to you to
filter the inane and insane. That you post through google
puts you at somewhat of a disadvantage and I can understand
your frustration.
Good luck, and if you want advice on using Usenet in a more
useful way, just ask. Many here will be willing to hand hold
you through it.

Just killfile him (and his multiple personalities). I wouldn't even know he
was in this NG at all if people didn't talk about him or quote his
babblings.

I would like to suggest maybe try using a MSN group. Where the
membership can be controled. Trolls can be banned and the group manager
has complete control over who is in the group and who is not. You can
even set it up so the manager has to read all posts before they show up

on the board.
This is just not working for me. That nonsence that is posted over and
over again on everyones posts does nothing but distract and annoy.

I recommend that you get a real newsreader. Personally, I use XNews as it
allows me to killfile Jerry and those others who annoy me. I don't see
their posts at all. It makes reading rpd* much more enjoyable. If you go
that way, you will also need to find a news provider. I use the one you can
sign up for at http://news.individual.net. It costs 10 Euro's a year, and
is amazing. Your ISP probably also provides a news feed that you should be
able to access.

Thanks for letting me join. I may lurk for a while and see if this

Your welcome.
BTW, we didn't get your user fees or your return address so we
couldn't send you the Group Filter system that "eliminates" this
troll issue.

Doubt it.
Just look back a few years and check for yourself.
